About Matthew Clark Davison

I’m a writer, lecturer, and coach living in San Francisco. I hold a BA in English Literature and an MFA in Fiction from San Francisco State University where I’ve been teaching in the Creative Writing BA/MA/MFA programs since 1998. As a coach, I work one-on-one with fiction, memoir, and narrative non-fiction writers on their manuscripts. I also coach teaching artists in my role as Artist Mentor for Performing Arts Workshop, the non-profit that once hired me as the Writer in Residence at LYRIC. I've also coached writing at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business.

I’ve read at several venues across the country, including: The San Francisco Public Library, The Poetry Center, Adobe Books, Million Fishes Gallery, The Shanti Project, Glide Church, LitQuake'sLitCrawl, Book Thug Nation in Brooklyn, NY, Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, and The Guild Complex in Chicago.
